The data files below are full-taxa compilations that contain all taxa groups.   If you only want data from a single taxa group
(e.g., only barcodes for copepods or pteropods), follow the taxa group links found under main map pages.

The "All Invertebrates" files contain data from all of the zooplankton (crustacean+non-crustacean) and benthic taxa groups and subgroups.
The "All Vertebrates" files contain data from all of the fish and marine mammal taxa groups and subgroups.
The "All Marine Fauna Combo" files contain all data from the All Invertebrates and the All Vertebrates combined files.

The "World (All-World-Oceans)" geographic region includes data from all of the other ocean and seas sub-regions.

The "Mode-A" files contain species-only barcodes for species found in the current ocean, but those sequences may come from any other ocean.
The "Mode-B" files contain species-only barcodes sampled only in the current ocean for species found in the current ocean.
The "Mode-C" files contain genus and/or species sequences for species found in the current ocean, but those sequences may come from any other ocean.
The "Mode-D" files contain genus and/or species sequences sampled only in the current ocean for species found in the current ocean.

The entire MZGdb database is therefore available via the "All Plankton Combo (All-World-Oceans) Mode-A" data files.
